Flex makes chargers for Apple and while not the best-known of the Cupertino firm’s suppliers, it is a huge multinational corporation employing 172,000 worldwide. Its Tamil Nadu plant alone employs a total of 4,000 people.
According to Reuters, that 4,000 is a mixture of staff and contract workers. Under Indian law, contractors cannot be used for what are described as core activities, and they did not join the strike.
